About the Church of
Christ
We believe that you will find that
this church is not similar but identical in every way to the
church you read about in the New Testament. This isn’t an
exclusive or wealthy church; everything about it is very simple
and it is not its purpose to feed vanity or pride with a display
of vain things.
Its doors are open to those who from the quiet depths of their
hearts would reach out to God in simple worship and by obedient
living. It is not its aim to amuse or entertain those who attend
its services. It exists here as a simple New Testament body,
pointing to those of its community to the Christ and God of the
Bible. We use the Bible as our proof text, and would like for
you to make a careful comparison of this church with the one
described in detail in your Bible.
If you would like to worship God in spirit and in truth; if you
enjoy thinking and meditating on God’s Word; if you enjoy the
Word of God; if you appreciate warm, intimate, genuine
brotherliness, you will enjoy attending the service of the
Church of Christ (Romans 16:16; Matthew 16:18).
Our Plea —To maintain the
original church which Christ established.
Our Creed —Jesus Christ—”I am
the way, the truth and the life…” (John 14:6)
